scook Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 The old forum user brundlefly is the poster immediately above my first post in this thread. I agree, he is great. I owe any positive reputation I have on this forum to the posters that came before me including brundlefly. Most of my posts are echoes of the real masters of the software.

I've always said if people read manuals, I'd be out of a job But you have written your share of manuals, too, haven't you? Have you decided that NOT writing manuals is better for the business?
Logan_4600 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Learning a DAW can be really overwhelming, even upon reading tfm can leave you with questions. CBL going free is going to attract a lot of anxious newcomers (I bet most of them will be willing to spend time while being respectfull, but some, not...) trying to do it all, and quick. I think that we have to be patient and remember that we've all been there once 1

David Baay Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I may change my user name back to brundlefly here at some point, but figured people would recognize the avatar. 1 1

Saves on typing and hopefully provides a starting point for learning about CbB. Anxiously awaiting the addition of search for CbB documentation. Yes but you usually include a link to the related section of TFM which provides a bootstrap to the questioner.
Some Guy Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Does Samplitude Pro X4 have Context Sensitive Help and ship with a PDF User Manual? These things are, increasingly, worth paying for - to me. I'll probably pay as much buying equivalently-good effects and instruments to make this usable, anyways... Some SONAR Platinum users say they have these from the latest version of that "version," but they act like they're a pot of gold and won't make them available for others. This software is full of marketing-speak, and without convenient, practically usable documentation it just isn't worth it to me. It feels like reading a foreign language book with Google Translate in another window. Edited January 22, 2019 by SomeGuy
scook Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Gibson/Cakewalk produced a SONAR Reference Guide pdf around once a year and a chm file with every release of SONAR. Both of these files were reformatted snap shots of the web-based help. The local help (chm file) option was removed from CbB preferences. BandLab continues to provide the web-based help with a much smaller staff. When BandLab purchased Cakewalk IP from Gibson there was some discussion of producing a downloadable version of the web-based help. To date, this has not happened. Bear in mind, there is a list of tasks for the current BandLab staff including a bunch of yet to be released plug-ins. Each of these plug-ins require documentation updates too. 2
icu81b4 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Nice thread, nice people .... super DAW and great support 1
Tubeydude Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I don't get on here as much as I used to. Partly because I was in Cruise control and was at a comfortable level with everything I needed from Sonar, but also just got busy. But this forum (previous version, and I hope the new version) is one of the reasons I give to people who are thinking about getting a DAW to go with Sonar, (CbB). Carry on. 1

My older brain's the reason I'm not even going past 8.5 hahaha I'm still using SONAR Home Studio 6 on an XP machine, but I do have CbB on a W 10 computer and know eventually, I'll have to make the move to it. But for what I do (recording myself, audio and MID, plus a little editing) it won't be a huge jump. It records just fine. All the extra geegaws it comes with will just be gravy. Mastering is beyond my ken. Well, beyond my ability to hear what I'm doing. 1
Bart Nettle Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Awesome shoutout to the developers, keep up the good works! Cheers
